Psalm 8:4 “What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him?”
The Psalmist in Psalm 8 is pondering how the great and awesome Creator of the vast universe could for a second be thinking about man and about having a relationship with man. Psalms 8:3 reads, “When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained,” what is man that You could even think of him and seek to have a relationship with him? For the psalmist is beyond comprehension that God would have any person on His mind. Yet He does. And He takes action to love us though we do not deserve any love.
As you ponder Psalm 8:4 is it not the most humbling feeling to know that God so loved us that He would not just think about us but take steps to reconcile us back to Himself? There can be no doubt that when He does think about us, He thinks about us as sinners, filthy, vile sinners. We are rebellious, and prone to resist what He wants us to do. As He thinks about our situation as sinners, He knows we are in need of a Savior! I don’t know about you, but I find it to be so humbling. And it should also bring about the deepest feelings of gratitude and worship!!!
Read again and truly ponder how incredible it is that God is mindful of you and sent His only Son to die for you.
Years ago I heard a song that said, “When Jesus was on the cross, I was on His mind.” I can only respond with WORTHY IS LAMB!
Continue Strong, humbled by the fact that God loves you,
And remember to DATE The Word
